<p class="MsoNormal">My concern is that historically more available power has lead to larger aircraft designs, increase in complexity, cost and subsequently reduced participation in pattern. This proposal is damaging to the lower classes and seems counter to
increased participation. The power aircraft size issue will always be present and consideration of the long-term implications must be weighed. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">There is a rules proposal that has been submitted to the contest board for approval that deals with 12s packs. We are looking to have a vote soon on whether to approve or not approve
this proposal.
